Hello, just got a 1996 Prelude Si about two weeks ago and figured I would finally join honda-tech instead of just reading, Im also on PreludeZone. About me, I live in San Antonio,(go spurs) and I used to own an ek with a b18c1 swap until i was blind sided at a four way that resulted in me being spun 180 degrees and ending in between a telephone pole and a huge black iron gate with less than a foot to give on either side. Now Im the proud owner of my Si that i got in a trade for a 120$ mini fridge, a 50$ 32 inch flat screen on craigslist and a.22 mossberg from academy, so all in all i traded under 400$ worth of stuff for an Si that just needs some TLC, time and patience. And thats my story.

 

Well I plan on updating this as I go along on my prelude build, and just drink my Mickeys. Recently took out my seats of my prelude and discovered that the carpet was filthy. There were stains everywhere and what I am sure are dead maggots??? Shop vac the hell outta of everything, and the front and rear seats currently out of the car. Now that the seats Im now contemplating a rear seat delete, probably by covering the hole into the trunk with something like fiberglass or something, not sure but definitely not keeping a back seat meant for three year olds and height deficient adults. Also, this is gonna be a DD by the strictest means so the idea of spending anywhere near 10000 grand on this car is ridiculous, and thats after turbo charging it on stock internals at about 5-7 lbs of boost, because why spend thousands of dollars on an H23a1 when i can ride it until it dies at low boost and then swap in a H23A vtec when its gone, mwa ha ha ha. But seriously, for what i gave for this car im not looking to get rid of it ever, besides you try being 6'2 and in a lowered hatchback and then UPGRADE to a lude. Theres just no going back for me.
